How Horses Rest Themselves.

Horses can get some rest standing, :"
said an old trainer recently, provided
the position be reasonably easy, but no
full rest except recumbent. It is known
of some horses that they never lie down
in the stall, though if kept in pasture they
take their rest habitually in a recumbent
position. It is well to consider whether
the habit has not been forced upon the
horse by some circumstance connected
with the stall he was made to occupy, in
that it had muddy earth floor, or one
made of dilapidated plank, uncomfortable
and offensive to the horse that had been
accustomed to select his own bed and pas
ture. If the horse can have the privilege
of selecting his own position for resting
ON his feet, he can sleep standing; but
while his muscles may be to certain
degree relaxed and get rest in that posi-
ton, what can be said of the bearings at
the jofntsS Without relief through the
recumbent position. the joint surfaces are
forced continuously to bear weight
varying from 1000 to 1900 pounds. This
must act unfavorably, especially upon the
complicated structures within the hoofs
which nature intended should have
periods of rest each day. New York

sewage sv.te,n of soutI,amp,on.

The sewage system of Southampton,
England, is based on the discovery of a
porous carbon, mineral powder, which
precipitates and oxidizes solids and organic
matter in solution, at the same time de-
stroying all noxious smells and purifying
the liquid. Two tanks are placed at the
outlet of the sewer, which are used alter
nately. When one is full the powder is
added, and precipitates the solid matter,
and the clear water is then drawn off and
the ''sludge" mixed with street scrapings
and sold for manure. Meantime the other
tank is filling. and so the process con-
tinucs. The cost of the system at South
ampton is estimated at about $4.35 per
100000 gallons of sewage treated. or

How Charcoal Ia Made.

Charcoal is duly appreciated by lazy
women, :" said a dealer In that commodity
TO n reporter. with it ono can build a
fire IN Eve minutes. It is cheap. sell
charcoal at So per chaldron. but peddlers
deal it out at thirty-fve cents per busIlel.
Yes, charcoal IS little dearer than coal,
but then the latter doesn't go so far or
last so long. The best charcoal used by
tin rOofers or plumbers is made in the
CatskiIIs or In the woods of New Jersey.
1t is made In this way: A cord of wood
isplaced IN cleared piece of ground, with
the sticks standing upright. In the mid
die a stake IS driven. The fine and
cOarse woods arc mixed close together so
as to make a firm pile. The whole is
covered with sods and earth. A fire is
lighted IN tho center of the pile and ON
tho top of which hole is cut so as to
allow the smoke to escape. The fire is
permitted to smolder for twelve OF
fifteen days, when the sod is taken off.
A cord OF wood viii turn out from
twenty to thirty bushels of charcoal In
former years much more charcoal ped
ding was done than now. The trade
has pretty well petered out, however,
owing to the many hard coal peddlers. u

Superstition In south Ameriea.

In southern Bolivia and the extreme
north of the Argentine Republic the
country people, who are all Indians be-
longing to the Quichoas, have a supersti-
ton against parting with any of their
animals, especially sheep. They connect
somehow the Virgin with their lambs,
given to them through her intercession.
and that, thanks to her motherly care,
their fiocks thrive, prosper and multiply.

A Large Volume Of Capital Seeking

Direction.
An Enormous Amount OF Iron and Steel
to BE Consumed the Cur
rent Year.


The following interesting summary Of
the industrial situation is from the pen Of
a statistician who is quoted as the highest
authority in TIE land: II IL yet little
early TO present statistically correct re-
port and review OF the American iron, steel,
and railroad building interests. Sufficient
material has been received TO present
practically safe conclusions, which are
here briefly embodied: The chief matter
OF anxiety is as TO the probable course of
prices and the permanency OF the present
widespread industrial activity. Some sixty
syndicates or combinations Of capitalists
have been formed IN Boston, New York.
Philadelphia, and Chicago since October 1
Tor the purpose of prosecuting large rail-
road. misunderstanding, mining, engineering.
and other vast enterprises. To move or
stand still for further developments is now
the question. A remarkably conservative
feeling prevails in all business channels.
We are IN sight of the possibilities of over
production. Enterprise is everywhere en-
conraged and stimulated. Capital is flying
into reproductive channels. Building en-
terprise is straining Railroad building
has begun on scale OF Unprecedented
magnitude; already Loo, 900 tons have
been sold, equal TO $4,000 miles
Of track, and only 100000 tons re-
main unsold. Prices of rails have
advanced from S3i 10 1910 $3S. Steel
rail material is up So per ton. Small buy
ers have been taken bv surprise, and are
rushing in and crowding up markets for
spring delivery. Inquiries are on hand for
nearly loo, 000to foreign rails and material
and all American. mills are sold up TO Sep
TENDER.
This is wonderful activity in the face OF
foreclosures during the past year amount
ing TO $375, 000, 600 on forty five roads and
1878 miles of track. No less than $4,000
miles Of mnin track will be built this year,
and 5, 900 miles Of side track and repairs.
New railroad building projects will be pre-
cipitated onto investors Of the coming
eleven weeks equal TO the past eleven.
The iron and steel industries are re-
markedly active and strong. The present
productive capacity Of blast furnaces is
l2S, 900 tons per week, and 1872 furnaces
blowing. Prices have advanced in one
year SIS to "a per ton on pig iron, and ~
ON steel rails, s. on old rails, and the same
ON foreign blooms, slabs, etc. Forty blast
furnaces are projected, and about twelve
rolling mills OF all kinds of large capacity.
The following figures show the pig iron
consumption for the years named:
